Ἀλλὰ γὰρ τοσαῦτα καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἑλλήνων θεολογίας ἀποχρῶντας ἡμῖν ἀποτετμήσθω, οἶς εὔλογον ἐπισυνάψαι τῶν αὐτῶν θεῶν τὰς ἐν τοῖς ἀδύτοις τελετὰς καὶ τὰ ἀπόρρητα μυστήρια, σκέψασθαί τε πότερον θείας ὡς ἀληθῶς θεολογίας ἐχούσης τι θεοπρεπὲς δεῖγμα φέρουσιν, ἢ κάτωθέν ποθεν ἀπὸ μακρᾶς καὶ δαιμονικῆς πλάνης ὁρμῶνται, γέλωτος ἢ καὶ μᾶλλον αἰσχύνης, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ τοῖς ἔτι τυφλώττουσιν οἴκτου ὄντα ἄξια.
